Now Or Never

Chapter 3

A/n: I don't know why listening to the song I can't Fall in Love without You makes me think of this relationship so much. It's a beautiful song truly. I might be trying to make a playlist for this book series😳

Julie, Alex, and I laid in her room. I sat on her bean bag chair while her and Alex laid in the bed. Alex always spent the night as much as possible.

"You've got to admit, Mr. Mc-dreamy just drops in to try and sign us and that isn't a miracle? If only we could get your mean boyfriend on board." Alex says, looking at me. I laugh softly and shake my head. "Luke only acts like that because he's jealous. Trust me. I know." I say, sitting up and sighing softly. Alex walks over to Julie's closet and opens it. She sits up to watch him as well.

"Can we do your makeup?" Julie asks him, hugging her knees a little. He looks back at her. "Yes!" He says excited. We laugh and sit him down at her vanity. She begins on his makeup while I fix up his hair. Julie did a glamorous glitter look on him, pairing the look with a blue glittery vest with his jeans. We hear a knock on the door. I walk over to open it. Reggie and Luke both peak their heads in.

"You look very beautiful." Reggie tells Alex. "Thanks, Reg." Alex says, chuckling softly as he looks at himself in the mirror. Luke looks at me and motions his head a little for me to come with him. I smile and nod, taking his hand gently. The others talk while we walk down the stairs, walking out onto the porch. I pull myself to sit on the railing and he stands in front of me. "I think it would be a good idea for us to be signed by an actual company.." I say, looking down at him.

"Can it be another company then?" He asks, a slight pout on his lips as he looks up at me. He didn't purposely do the pout, his bottom lip just stuck out when he was serious or upset. "Luke.. who knows when we're going-" I start but he cuts me off. "We're going to get plenty of more. We're amazing." He says in a matter of fact way. I give him a look and he sighs.

"I love you." I say, placing my hands on his shoulders gently. His sleeveless shirt made it easier to trace soft circles into his skin. That helped calm him. "I love you too." He says and steps closer to me. His hands move to rest on the railing on either side of me.

"Good. Then who cares if that Blake guy signs us? I got my boy in front of me." I say and ruffle his hair gently. He groans a little and closes his eyes, hating when I messed up his hair. He secretly loved it though. "You're cute when you're jealous." I tell him, leaning in to peck his lips softly. He scrunches up his nose before pulling away. "Excuse me? Cute?" Luke huffs and looks at me. I laugh softly and wrap my arms around him. Luke's hands move up to my lower back. He smiles and leans his forehead on mine.

"There was a time where we couldn't do this.. people would think I'm crazy because they couldn't see you." I say, making him laugh softly. Luke was anything and everything I needed. I couldn't imagine my life without him. "I need to get back to Julie and Alex. You and Reggie enjoy your little boy hangout." I say to joke with him. He hated when I said him and Reggie had sleepovers too. He thought it sounded to girly. I easily slide off the railing, feeling how close he is to me and I knew it was going to be like moving a boulder because of how strong he was.

"I'll see you tomorrow." He says, leaning in to kiss my forehead gently. I smile and close my eyes briefly. His forehead kisses. I kiss his cheek softly before we part ways. I go back upstairs to see it's Reggie's turn to get a make over. I think for a second before getting an idea. "Lukeeee!"

Make overs ended after a little while. We had so much fun changing the boys and putting makeup on them. I had to promise Luke a bunch of kisses to even put some blush on his cheeks. Reggie and Luke ended up falling asleep on the floor beside the bed. They were allowed to sleep over as long as Alex and I were here. Julie slept in her giant bean bag chair with her favorite blanket draped over her. Alex and I cuddled each other in the bed. We had such a brother-sister bond we were kind of used to falling asleep like this. Alex would protectively keep his arm around me while I laid my head on his shoulder. I had grown so used to cuddling with Luke that it kind of felt natural to just go for it with Alex. He didn't mind. He loved it. Throughout the night though, Luke asked if he could switch with Alex. Alex didn't mind that either. I woke up a little when they were moving but relaxed again when I felt Luke. He smiles and rubs my back softly when he pulls me closer. I nuzzle my head into his shoulder. He brings the blanket over us more. Alex lays on the floor beside Reggie, Reggie immediately moving closer to cling to him. He did that a lot too. Again, Alex didn't mind at all.

"Baby." I hear softly beside me. I slowly open my eyes to look at Luke. "Goodnight," He says, leaning over to press his lips to my forehead. "Goodnight, rockstar." I mumble tiredly and wrap my arms around him more. He gets comfy and we drift off into a peaceful sleep together.
